The structure of the designed TDC is a variety of 2D Vernier time to digital converter, based on gated ring oscillators. Performance of these oscillators has biggest impact on resolution of TDC. Therefore, oscillators were simulated using analog approach using Cadence integrated circuit design software. Simulations were carried out in nominal (1.2 V, 40 °C, typical transistor models), worst (1.1 V, 40 °C, slow transistor models) and best (1.3 V, −40 °C, fast transistor models) operation conditions. In the nominal operation conditions, the frequency of gated ring oscillator can be tuned from 0.68 GHz to 3.38 GHz and from 0.33 GHz to 0.71 GHz respectively in 65 nm and 0.13 μm technology. The delay of single stage can be changed from 491 ps to 98 ps and from 1.013 ns to 0.466 ns respectively in 65 nm and 0.13 μm CMOS. At least 3 and 5 sections of oscillator need to be enabled respectively in 65 nm and 0.13 μm CMOS for oscillator to start. Tuning step of oscillator's stage delay, which corresponds to resolution of TDC, in nominal operating conditions can be changed from 3.4 ps to 0.8 ps and from 5.8 ps to 1.1 ps respectively in 65 nm and 0.13 μm CMOS, when number of enabled oscillator's sections is changed from 20 to 48. Total area of silicon occupied by TDC is 123 μm × 148.8 μm in 65 nm CMOS technology and 244.2 μm × 295.8 μm in 0.13 μm CMOS technology.","PeriodicalId":224275,"journal":{"name":"2017 5th IEEE Workshop on Advances in Information, Electronic and Electrical Engineering (AIEEE)","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129214438","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An offset cancellation technique is done and tested in order to decrease the offset and kickback noise. Regarding the Monte Carlo and corner simulation results for 100 samples and 9 corners respectively, it can be observed that bit error rate is approximately zero and comparator can response fast to the input signals.

Loudness control systems involving loudness control algorithms are used in radio and television broadcasting. In this paper we present a research on the influence of attack and decay parameters on the performance of loudness control algorithms. Attack and decay are temporal parameters of the algorithm, that define the rate at which the algorithm applies the correction to the audio material. For this investigation, a relatively simple real time loudness control algorithm was devised, having only the two parameters: the attack and the decay rate of the algorithm's reaction. The input signal for the algorithm is the weighted sum of the loudness measurements of the source material the in three temporal scales, as per EBU R-128 recommendation. Experiments were conducted with various summing weights of the input signal. The test sound material was acquired from actual commercial TV broadcast. The performance of the algorithm were evaluated by measuring differences of three parameters of the corrected material before and after the correction as a function of the attack and decay values: the loudness range, overflow percentage, and average integrated loudness level.","PeriodicalId":224275,"journal":{"name":"2017 5th IEEE Workshop on Advances in Information, Electronic and Electrical Engineering (AIEEE)","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115863116","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
